Along the way I’ve discovered that I was built for revolution: a sudden, complete, or marked change in ideology and thought.
We live in an age replete with ‘revolutionary’ thoughts and ideologies that often refuse to take root or come to fruition. Daily, we’re inundated with ‘new ideas’ that are really regurgitated old ideas—great ideas that were once thrown aside as garbage, but are now picked up and held up as new, as revolutionary.
In this barrage, I find myself eagerly grabbing for the next innovation that will change my life—change my world. I demand something better from society, from the government, from my job, from my friends, from my family—I want, want, want…But, all too often, I forget that life is not about getting; it’s about giving.
I’ve become so eager to find something new, something exciting, something life-changing, that I’ve completely lost sight of the true revolution—the revolution of my heart. All real change must start there and that ideology, once deeply rooted, will naturally be expressed in my every action.
My old ideas are no longer useful, my eyes have been opened to their ugly pettiness; and I am ready to make a change. This revolution must start with me. But I can’t do it on my own; I must fully surrender to God, allowing Him to fully transform my heart and mind—completing the revolution within me.
So join me as I stop buying into all the world’s shiny ideas, turning my back on its foolish version of wisdom and instead allow God to give me a new heart and mind—one that seeks only to please Him.
Final Thought:Allowing God to change my heart is the beginning of the revolution; and I’m ready for God’s revolution!
